I think that is the only reasonable thing you could have said after Washington revealed and I trust that.
Simply because I see no benefict for a scum to claim being survivor since there is already a neutral who will counter-claim.
The only reason I can see is a WIFOM one but wtf, that is far too balzy.
Now if we look about Roosevelt, he claimed turncoat :
Once dead, you may choose a player at night to possess during the day.
Which mean if you are going to kill him, you will have to kill him twice?
What prevent him to take Washington place?
Now his 'turncoat' claim can just be a false claim to prevent him being killed (if he is survivor for example).
At the moment, I believe roosevelt is neutral and It make more sense that Washington is town.
That being said, Washington/Roosevelt already talked about that, we can still push to get more informations but I am not sure that will help us right now.
Instead, we was talking about Trump/Nixon and I still think it's more valuable for us to push them.
-vote Richard Nixon
